David Puckett
In one episode (I think it was when Lisa predicted football games for Homer)
Kent Brockman states that the Super Bowl is going to be aired on their new
affiliate in Paris... it cuts to a scene where two Frenchmen (I'm pretty
sure they looked identical to the ones that adopted Bart as a foreign
exchange student)... they're in an apartment with a view of the Eiffel
Tower, and one looks at the Super Bowl and says "Stupide!!!!!!"... he
changes the channel to something else (Jerry Lewis I'm guessing), kisses his
fingers, and says "C'est formidable!!!!!"
Krusty (when Bart and Lisa try to reunite him with his father) is told by
Bart that he's to receive the French Legion of Honor from Francois Mitterand
in some cafe (Krusty hums La Marseillaise as he enters)
When Krusty gets Kancelled, they take his Eiffel Tower backdrop and he
exclaims "How am I gonna make fun of the frogs now?"
In "The Trouble with Trillions," the money from the Marshall Plan was
supposed to go to several European countries, France included, and the
French representative agrees with the rest of them to be rude to Americans
for time immemorial since the check never arrived...
I think in the episode where Bart gets famous for "I didn't do it," Kent
Brockman is trying to pronounce the name of some country where an earthquake
or something killed thousands... he keeps trying to pronounce it, keeps
failing, and crosses out the name and replaces it with "France."

Nope, the affiliate was in Israel. But the two Frenchmen (who were Cesar and
Ugolin) count as a France reference.

The place with flooding was Kuala Lampur, the capital city of Malaysia.
Two more:
In "You Only Move Twice", Hank Scorpio, aiming his new laser weapon, asks
Homer if France or Italy is his least favorite country. Homer replies
France, after which Scorpio chuckles and adds, "No one ever says Italy."
In last year's Halloween special, a nuclear bomb was shot at Springfield
from France after Mayor Qumiby made an insulting remark about Frenchmen
liking frogs legs. Just before the bomb is fired, we see a boardroom full of
Frenchmen whose laughter sounds like croaking frogs.

Also, in the one on Itchy and Scratchy Island, at the end, Frink says
"I'd hate to think of what's happening in Euro-Itchy and Scratchy
Land". Cut to Euro-I&SL where a Frenchman sits in a booth overlooking
an empty parking lot saying.. "Hello! Itchy & Scratchy Land open for
business! C'mon! My last paycheck bounced! My kids, they need
wine!"
David Puckett
and
|Ugolin) count as a France reference.
Maybe I'm being terribly dense here, but are you sure that it wasn't an
affiliate in Israel AND Paris? I mean, it would be awfully hard to pick up
broadcasts that far away... and I'm pretty sure they were in Paris, because
I'm positive I saw the Eifel Tour outside of their apartment (i guess they
moved in the interim?)

dollar bill episode where Burns had to fly to Europe to deliver the bill but
he didn't so they just act snooty toward americans?

No one's mentioned the best line from that epidode. Bart was staring
at his pet frog in a jar, and said "Ahhh, the life of a frog - that's
the life for me."
Just then Marge walked in and said "Bart, how would you like to spend
the next three months in France?"

I believe this scene may have been the first time I recall laughing at a "Simpsons"
episode-- so I guess I can finally answer that thread from a few weeks ago.

Actually, I think it was Guadalajara.

It was definitely Jerry Lewis. The voice impression sounded identical to
Professor Frink, so I guess Hank Azaria wasn't kidding about his characters'
voices being based on bad impressions of famous actors of the twentieth
century.

No; he's Estonian. This midget also impersonated Lisa on "Burns' Heir";
check that episode for the info you want.

France declares war on the US, drops an atomic bomb on Springfield, and
Homer fights the resulting zombies a la "The Omega Man".

Apologies if already mentioned, but Marge was busy outside of the house and
the laundry wasn't getting done. Homer was a mess and complained that he was
"dirtier than a Frenchman".

(the guy who is really an international terrorist) Scorpio asks Homer which
country he'd rather see get blown up: Italy or France. When Homer says
France Scorpio laughs and replies, "no one ever says Italy".
